Exercise 1: Read and choose the correct answer.
Acid rain can harm buildings, plants, and even people. Acid rain is rain that contains acidic
chemicals. It is caused by chemicals put into the environment by humans. These chemicals mixing
with water cause the acid rain that we have on Earth today.
“Acidic” means that the rain’s pH level is acidic rather than neutral or basic. A pH scale runs from
0 to 14; the lower the number, the higher the acidity. Water is right in the middle with a pH of 7.
Bleach and other cleaning fluids are usually basic. These are dangerous too because they dissolve
protein. Acids tend to taste sour and can hurt people by burning them. These acids can also erode
concrete or metal.
Obviously, rain, snow, and ice can damage buildings and forests, but acidic rain, snow, and ice make
this damage happen much faster. The famous Statue of Liberty in New York City had to be fixed
because of acid rain. Some cities cover up their statues during the winter when snow and ice stays
on the ground for a long time. Acid rain can also harm animals. Fish eggs in ponds and lakes cannot
hatch if the pH is below 5.
Question 1. What is the passage mostly about?
(A) Acid rain being harmful
(B) The pH scale and acid rain
(C) Acid in rain, snow, and ice

For people with a condition called synesthesia, sound is directly linked to the sense of sight, and

tones of music. [C] White, yellow, and pink were associated with tones in the 4,000-Hz range; blue
and green were associated with tones in the 1,000-Hz range; and brown, gray, and black were
associated with tones in the 200-Hz range. [D]
Look at the four squares [ ] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the
